@qkslvrwolf You could hold Sorel, the Futurists, d'Annunzio or Mussolini responsible for fascism, for a systemic political description of fascism.
State sanctioned violence, genocide, eugenics is obviously longer lived. Hitler LOVED USA segregation, reservations and eugenics. Very much an […]

I read this today, and I’ve been thinking about the counterfactual, namely how could conservatives have retained their cultural capital. There was never an artistic wave following the political wave. Say what you will about fascists, at least they had the futurists in their corner.

Not that the ai image generating crowd and the futurists are like one to one obviously, but like, there's something there, a similar feel and something about the need for newness I can't find the right words for.

Also on the ai thing I do keep thinking about the futurists and how they all became outright fascists. Turns out some obsession with a particular idea of the future and the technology therein is bad.

"Can we change the future?" - the latest newsletter from London Futurists. It provides two answers to that question: "not much" and "a great deal"

If you had suggested plot points like this to the great dystopian futurists like Orwell, Wells, or Huxley, they would have looked at you with pity for your overwrought imagination and total lack of subtlety.
Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.
The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today
Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

I think it deeply damaged EA by putting a ton of cultural focus on shit that was billionaire flattering, arguing on grounds questionable from a mathematical uncertainty perspective to deprioritize practical near-term help to poor people & the environment, in favour of giving money to rich futurists.

This has historically been hard for space futurists and their customers to answer. The economist Alex Macdonald writes about these folks entering "Faustian bargains -- for example, Robbert Goddard designed chemical weapons, and von Braun, um, my god. What can't you justify for the sake of ad astra?

By Akash Sriram and Joey Roulette Feb 4 (Reuters) - Seventy-five years ago, the idea of harnessing the power of the skies was little more than fantasy spun by futurists like Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov. Elon Musk's mega-merger of his companies xAI and SpaceX this week brings this sci-fi dream a step closer. NASA engineers and technologists have speculated for nearly two decades about moving energy‑hungry computing off the planet.

It wasn’t bad. I recommend reading it if you want to know what happens or if you’re really obsessed with knowing how futurists have thought about artificial intelligence in the past. But it’s not *something else* like e.g. Hyperion or Dune. It reads to me like just another sci-fi book of an era.

This video on AI in music started w/disenfranchisement of musicians & role of music then dived into history of the Italian futurists getting taken up by the fascists, right in parallel with today's Effective Accelerationist crowd looking to dismantle any democracy around.

Silicon Valley's central claim is that they're futurists—that, via technology, they're engineering a better, brighter future.
It's no longer true.
Their current project is passéism—an attempt, via technology, to wind back the clock to a predemocratic, prescientific, pre-Enlightenment age.

People who are evolving 'they' disparage as Woke & we call Futurists. Futurists live their lives along side their Fellow Man whom Include one another.
Futurists and visionaries see the Greatness of diverse Peoples that includes themselves.
Futurists Are Equal to the Task of Being Human.

They hired professional futurists who (accurately) described the nature of the global problem, and they decided it must be solved through fascism and genocide.

I have a cartoon book that dates back from 1969 & in it has a cartoon of a space shuttle! Believe it! Futurists & sci-fi nuts think the impossible & engineers make it possible & turns it to reality!
Molecular biologist Dr. Millie Hughes-Fulford died #OTD in 2021.
She was the first female payload specialist in space (Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-40, 1991) & spent her career studying the effects of spaceflight on the immune system at the cell molecular and systems biology level. #WomenInSTEM

I think it's hard for some to grasp how truly cooked the left is in Japan. They've ceded nearly every voter under the age of 40 to a grab bag of the LDP, nationalists, and techno-futurists. I still come across people blaming old voters for propping up the LDP. Increasingly it is the opposite.
